Nanofiber-based therapy for diabetic wound healing: a mechanistic study
Chronic diabetic wounds are a serious complication of diabetes mellitus, representing more than 27% of total annual diabetic health care costs which exceed $116 billion annually in the US alone. Diminished infiltration of new blood vessels (neovascularization) into the wound is a major factor …

Extracellular microenvironment for the regulation of endothelial angiogenic responses
… including diabetes-induced myocardial injury (diabetic cardiomyopathy, DCM) and diabetic ulcers. These complications are associated with vascular pathologies such as abnormal angiogenesis (formation of blood vessels) along with altered biomechanical and cellular microenvironment. Vascular …
